Donald was a Trooper in the Canadian Armed Forces, serving in WWII when he was 15 years old. As a young man in the army, Donald won many boxing matches and marathon events. After serving his country, he became a gifted innovator, artistic master craftsman and woodworker, who took great pride in each of his creations; whether it be roughing in a home or the fine finishing of detailed wood interiors. Donald was credited for the building of numerous subdivisions and private homes in the Es County area.
Special thanks to Jim Hotson, whose frequent family visits and supplies of Bud’s tobacco pouches were appreciated. Thanks also to Devonshire Retirement Home, Chartwell Kingsville Retirement Residence and Hospice Residential-Windsor for their loving care and compassion.
